What I need is to get a couple of folders in the project populated with some "common" files through the use of the svn externals system. But to do that I have to create a subdirectory inside the source "common" directory just containing the common files needed by the project. And since these files have evolved since the project in question was originally worked on I want the files in the state they were in at that time. Once that is done (on the server side) I can then in the working copy of the project define the external as usual targeting the common/selectedfiles folder in the server. Meanwhile I have checked out the old project on a branch from the time of last release, but of course I did not get the needed extra directories. So I found an old CVS working copy from that time and copied over the two folders into the new SVN working copy (removing the CVS subdirs in the process). Then I checked that the project built properly and it did. Of course I now have the option of just svn add-ing the two dirs in the wc and be done. But I feel that this is probably not the right thing to do, or just maybe it is.... These common files are not supposed to change anyway... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden
